Reselect Items

blankman

Hi all, is it possible in skill to create a reselect tool, that would reselect any preselected number of objects in the event of deselecting by mistake? For instance, when doing complex stretches that involve carefully selecting only certain objects, it can be quite cumbersome when one looses the selection and has to go to the trouble of reselecting everything again. Thanks,

Brian.

  • Brian,

    Apologies, it should have been ~>objects not ~>members. The members attribute gives you a list of groupMem objects, each of which has an object associated with it.  Actually that could be the place where you store the partial selection information rather than on the original object itself - for example (and there's no checking here whether the number of points in the object has changed in the meantime here - I'll leave that for you): 

    procedure(BSstoreSelSet1(@optional (cv geGetEditCellView()))
    let((group (groupName "BSstoreSelSet") groupMem)
        dbDeleteGroupByName(cv groupName)
        group=dbCreateGroup(cv groupName list("unordered" "deleteLast"))
        foreach(obj geGetSelectedSet(cv)
            groupMem=dbAddObjectToGroup(group obj)
            when(geIsObjectPartiallySelected(obj nil)
                groupMem~>partialSelect=geGetSelSetFigPoint(obj)
            )
        )
        t
    )
)

procedure(BSreselectSelSet1(@optional (cv geGetEditCellView()))
    let((partialSelect)
        foreach(groupMem dbGetGroupByName(cv "BSstoreSelSet")~>members
            partialSelect=groupMem~>partialSelect
            if(partialSelect then
                geSelectFigPoint(groupMem~>object partialSelect)
            else
                geSelectFig(groupMem~>object)
            )
        )
    )
)
